What the National Weather Service wrote

A thunderstorm produced around one inch of rain in 30 minutes that filled a drainage ditch near the intersection of Hwy 281 and Bitters Rd. in northern San Antonio. A homeless man was camping in the ditch at the time and was washed away and drowned.

The wider storm

Southerly flow in the boundary layer brought a warm, moist airmass to South Central Texas. There was sufficient cold air advection above this layer to break the cap and generate thunderstorms late in the evening. Some of these storms produced large hail, damaging wind gusts, and locally heavy rain.

Began near Sat Twin Oaks Arpt (29.5646, -98.4831).
